Big Get for DePaul

Jon Rothstein‏ @JonRothstein

La Lumiere's Shane Heirman is expected to join Dave Leitao's staff at DePaul as an assistant coach, per multiple sources.

Huge get for the Blue Demons. Wonder if this affects Brian Bowen's interest in DePaul.

This has been rumored for months. In fact, I'd guess this is at least part of the reason Bowen visited DePaul.

Assistant coach Patrick Sellers is out, and there are some rumors that Billy Garrett, Sr may be on the outs as well. Director of Basketball Operations Bryan Tibaldi will be taking an Assistant job with Cleveland State. So, yeah... big staff shakeup.

Also explains why DePaul has offered virtually every player on the LaLu roster.

Billy Garrett Sr. should have been canned when Purnell resigned. There was absolutely no point in keeping him when Leitao stepped in.

Well, we got to see his son lead the team to Kenpom finishes of #182 and #184 the past two seasons. Otherwise, he might have transferred. So, yay?

Its possible he had a 4 year contract with a buyout.

Bummer for Sellers. Was he there one year after he left Creighton? Two?

Rothstein reporting this afternoon that DePaul is targeting Tim Anderson for a coaching position. Anderson is currently the Head Coach for Chicago's Meanstreets AAU team.

Brian Bowen played his AAU ball for Anderson.

Some experts are starting to call Bowen to DePaul. The two hires might be why he waited to declare. At this point, who knows.
